The award is for the REU Site: Ecology, Genetics, and Adaptation on the Colorado Plateau project. The project will run from February 2021 through January 2024. The funding supports undergraduate students conducting research in ecology, genetics, and adaptation through the NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates program. The research focuses on the...
- Northern Arizona University received a two-year $194,093 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The university will conduct research to reconstruct the evolutionary relationships of Lobelia plant species endemic to the mountain ranges of Mexico, known as the Mexican Transition Zone, in order to investigate how the species are related to each other and to species in other parts...
- Northern Arizona University received a $244,487 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: SHF: SMALL: FEEDBACK-DRIVEN MUTATION TESTING FOR ANY LANGUAGE." The three-year award runs from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The funding supports investigator-initiated research under the NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA #47.070). This program aims to advance computing,...
- Northern Arizona University was awarded a three-year, $166,140 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant supports research titled "Collaborative Research: Comparative Taphonomy and Time-Averaging of Mollusk-Echinoid Assemblages Using High-Performance Radiocarbon Dating System" under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $299,147 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to the University of Arizona to study how soil microbes in the Sonoran Desert adapt and respond to environmental stress from changing climate conditions. The research project, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH:(PRISM) - PREDICTING RESILIENCE IN SOIL MICROBIOMES THROUGH MULTI-SCALE ANALYSIS OF MONSOON-DRIVEN ADAPTATIONS", will examine microbial...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $502,674, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to Minnesota State University Mankato. The funding will support a research project investigating the role of nitrogen source availability in shaping the composition and function of gut microbiomes across different mammalian host species. Key project activities include computationally reconstructing microbial nitrogen transformation networks...
Northern Arizona University was awarded a $3 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation to conduct research titled "MIM: DISCOVERING IN REVERSE ? USING ISOTOPIC TRANSLATION OF OMICS TO REVEAL ECOLOGICAL INTERACTIONS IN MICROBIOMES" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2026. The award is being administered under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems confronting the nation. Specifically, Northern Arizona University will use the funding to conduct research using isotopic translation of "omics" data to reveal ecological interactions within microbiomes. The five-year project grant will allow the university to investigate microbial communities and their functions through this novel analytical approach.
